Break FIPS tests differently.

FIPS validation requires showing that the continuous and start-up tests
are effective by breaking them. Traditionally BoringSSL used #defines
that tweaked the expected values. However, 140-3 now requires that the
inputs be changed, not the expected outputs.

Also, the number of tests is going to increase. Since slower platforms
already took too long to compile BoringSSL n times (once for each test
to break) we want something faster too.

Therefore all the known-answer tests (KATs) are changed such that a Go
program can find and replace the input value in order to break them.
Thus we only need to recompile once to disable the integrity test.

The runtime tests still need a #define to break, but that #define is now
put in a header file so that only the module need be recompiled, not
everything as in the previous system.

BoringSSL

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.

BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.

Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
